Why is the clouded leopard important?

Answer 1

Well, put quite simply, not only is the coat of a clouded leopard ay least as beautiful as those of any other wildcat species but as they are such an endangered species, their rarity alone makes them very special. I just read the other day, in fact that a coat from just the one adult clouded leopard can fetch $80,000 - that makes it very special in my book!! Oh, and PS. They're actually not a species of leopard but were given their name long before such technology as DNA testing existed...

Answer 2

As of June 14, 2011, the Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) as well as the Sunda Clouded Leopard (Neofelis diardi) are BOTH listed as 'Vulnerable with a decreasing population trend', according to the IUCN Red list of threatened species.

Primarily nocturnal and largely arboreal , they are difficult to spot in their natural habitat.

Their young are born in litters of two to four -blind and helpless.

The species is threatened by loss of habitat through deforestation.

Only seven Clouded Leopards have ever been radio-collared for territorial movement monitoring activities.

Their coats have a distinctive and beautiful pattern.
